Abstract excerpt
The family of ATP-gated P2X receptor channels have a conserved protein kinase C site in the N-terminal intracellular domain. This site was disrupted in human P2X(1) receptors by the mutation T18A. T18A mutants were expressed at normal levels in Xenopus oocytes; however, the peak current amplitude was reduced by >99% and showed approximately 10 fold faster desensitisation in response to ATP than wild type (WT)...
